Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Layer a slice of Swiss cheese on one slice of bread, followed by the shaved ham, and then another slice of Swiss cheese. Top with a second slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat for the remaining slices.

  3. 3

    Dip the Sandwiches

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides, then place in the skillet.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sandwiches

    Cook each sandwich for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Add more butter as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice in half, and serve warm with strawberry jam and fresh fruit on the side.
